Dunno about women, but anyone who could wheelie or stoppie my under powered Ford Mondeo would impress the hell out of me. Actually the same applies to my bike now I think about it.
I once pulled a wheelie on a Honda c50 stepthrough ...... not intentionally I may add. Now that had the girls laughing. Especially the bit where I had a panic stricken look on my face and a sore arse cos I fell off ...... the bike shot off through the traffic lights by itself and got jammed in the entrance to a bank.
DOH!
if you got a R1 , gsxr 1000, fireblade , zx10-r , lets face it wheelies aint hard they are all front end light and its way to easy to do .
remenber yeah they may look cool but its harder to stop and just think of the cost .

I agree with Gixer101.
Besides the reason for doing wheelies isnt so much about showing off as the fact thats it's damn good fun.
I tend to do it mostly when no ones around anyway
hey fire blade kid, it may be easy to get the front up on a thou but how easy is it to get the balancing point then to hold it there and carry it through the gears? cool? yes. easy? probably not!
done a few wheelies on an sp1 learnt the hard way it just f--ks up chains sprokets shocks bearing . and beside that f--ked and write the bike off , never again use to like stoppies as well ...
now i just find it fun to ride through twisty back rds as fast as possible
